Podcast: The Science of Reading and OG

 Orton-Gillingham Philosophy, Principles and Practice Unpacked PODCAST 

Podcast Overview

This podcast explores the foundations of the Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach, a structured, multisensory methodology designed for teaching reading, spelling, and writing—with particular effectiveness for individuals with dyslexia.

We'll unpack the core elements of OG instruction, including essential concepts like phonological awareness, phonics rules, morphology, and handwriting development. The discussion details specific instructional procedures, practical classroom activities, and effective error correction techniques that define the OG methodology.

Our exploration emphasizes the importance of systematic and sequential instruction, highlighting how visual and auditory drills, blending and segmenting exercises, and student response materials work together to support literacy development. Additionally, we address strategies for building fluency, implementing assessment protocols, and developing prescriptive lessons that integrate OG principles into comprehensive reading programs across grade levels.
